Description
Currently, vital.vim is released under NYSL.
NYSL is a bit restrictive counterpart of Unlicense in Japan and a tool to insist "my software, public domain".
This license is good for a trivial, private software developed in Japan because the license document was originally written in Japanese and not messed up by a lawyer.
However, NYSL have some problems when a open-source software is released under it.
- The NYSL code cannot be used in GPL products, since FSF stated nothing about NYSL.
- Nobody knows NYSL is effective as PD outside of Japan as Unlicense.
- NYSL is not verified as a open source license.
- NYSL has no official documents written in English.
- NYSL is no written by a lawyer.
CC0 can resolve all the problems except the third.
